Note of the week: 28% of the top 25 books for the week, fall into the YA category - and it's interesting to see 2 new Young Adult additions to the top 25, by author Amanda Hocking...and this is interesting because she has self-published both books and they're falling in the #16 and #24 spots for the week! Way to go Ms. Hocking!
